Headline figures on the number of unfilled vacancies at a point in time are published by the Office for National Statistics, based on a regular survey of employers. The sample size of the survey is, however, too small to allow information to be published below national level.<\/p>

Jobcentre vancancies are just a part of total recruitment, missing jobs available in the wider labour market beyond the local constituency or authority, and those coming up through other recruitment channels or filled by direct approaches to employers or word of mouth. A snapshot of unfilled vacancies also misses the regular turnover of new vacancies that come up as existing opportunities are filled. Information on the number of unfilled vacancies held locally by Jobcentre Plus was collected until 2012 and the available information is shown in the table.<\/p>
